Old Style Hopi Carved Mud Thrower Traditional Racer Katsina Doll by Evan Martin

The Mud Thrower (Tsukapelyu) only appears during the fast parade and he carries clay which he forms into balls and throws at the spectators to get their attention and at the racers in hopes of slowing them down so the village people may have a chance to win the foot race.
